WHAT IS THE MAKE AND MODEL? As long as you fail to include
this minimal information, it is just a junk of chinese noname garbage.

Hint: we don't believe you when you say it is better than a fluke.
And BTW, its specs suck. 1% to 6% accuracy? Give me a break. It
might
as
well be a 2 digit meter. Reminds me a sinclair LED meter from the
70's.
The last digit is just noise.
What you choose to believe appears to be based upon an uninformed
opinion (unless you've personally tested and evaluated this meter, and
compared features,quality, and price with either a Fluke or a Tektronix
multimeter).

In order to formulate an informed opinion, rather than spewing forth an
uninformed opinion as you have, the make of this meter is XILE, and the
Model is XL830L. It is not a Fluke or a Tektronix meter, nor is it's
price
that of a Fluke or a Tektronix multimeter.


" No results found for XILE XL830L"
I got some hits for XILE on the chinese crap importation websites.
Nothing for that meter, unsurprisingly.

He told me I needed a better search engine. There are no results on any
search I used other than his posts.


Not to back up the OP, but a google search returned 331 pages of results...
http://www.google.com/search?num=50&...0L&btnG=Search


Google guesses at 299 hits, then returns 2 pages. It was 67 hits, actually,
2/3rds of them chinese. (your url includes a 50 hits/page specification)
(page 2 was hits 51-67)

I probably got no hits because the ****ing idiot had misspelled the
manufacturer's name.

XILE != XIOLE

I had searched for "XILE XL830L" and unsurprisingly, got nothing but
the OP's advertisements.

BTW: when posting a google link, you can leave off all the crap except
for the ?q=searchstring part. For example, all you need is:
http://www.google.com/search?q=xl830l


Ding!
